In the Modem Statistics portion of 

the Diagnostics section, you can view 

the SoundStation VTX 1000 modem 

performance for the last call that made use 

of a modem connection. 

The statistics provided are:

 

Tx Bit Rate

 (Transmit Bit Rate)            

The achievable rate for sending 

data over a given phone line with 

the modem, in bits per second

 

Rx Bit Rate

 (Receive Bit Rate)              

The achievable rate for receiving 

data over a given phone line with 

the modem, in bits per second

 

SNR

 (Signal to Noise Ratio)                  

A measure, in microvolts, of signal 

strength relative to background noise as 

expressed in decibels

 

Round Trip Delay

                                 

The elapsed round trip time 

for transit of a signal over the 

analog telephone circuit

 

CRC Errors

 

(Cyclical Redundancy Check Errors)     

The cumulative number of lost data 

packets, a good measure of the 

robustness of the data connection

 

Monitoring Line Quality

 

VTX 1000 provides text-based status 

indicators on the display to 

communicate the real-time operational 

details of the phone when testing line 

quality and negotiating wideband and 

narrowband connections. Below is a 

description of each.

     1. “Line Quality Standby”
     This will be displayed if the prior phone 

call did not use the modem. (i.e. narrow 

band).

     2. “Monitoring Line Quality”
     This is displayed during a wideband 

call.

     3. “Narrowband Select on Poor Sync”
     This will be displayed if the local           

VTX 1000 decided to fall to 

Narrowband because it believed the 

modem had lost sync due to detected 

errors in V.34’s so called superframe 

bit inversion synchronization pattern.

     4. “Narrowband Select on CRC      

Level 1”

     This will be displayed if the unit detects 

a 15% or greater CRC Error Rate 

consistently at our local receiver for 60 

seconds.

     5. “Narrowband Select on CRC      

Level 2”

     This will be displayed if we detect 

a 20% or greater CRC Error Rate 

consistently at our local receiver for 6 

seconds.

When you select Restore Defaults, you 

will be prompted to confirm or cancel the 

complete elimination of all settings and 

data that have been entered since the phone 

was first installed.

  Important: If you Restore Defaults, 

all data entered since the phone was 

first installed, including, but not limited 

to, all Settings, Audio Setup entries,  

Administrative Setup passcode and data, 

etc., is irretrievably lost.

    

Note: Phone Book entries and Speed 

Dial numbers are not lost when 

restoring all defaults. 

     Press the 

OK

 soft key to confirm 

that you wish to Restore Defaults, 

or the 

CANCEL

 soft key to return to the 

Diagnostics submenu without restoring 

defaults.

Restore All Defaults

     6. “Narrowband Select on CRC Level 

3”

     This will be displayed if the unit detects 

a 40% or greater CRC Error Rate 

consistently at our local receiver for 6 

seconds.

     7. “Narrowband Select on CRC Level 

4”

     This will be displayed if the unit detects 

an 80 % or greater CRC Error Rate 

consistently at our local receiver for 3 

seconds.

     8. “Wideband Signal Loss Detected”
     This will be displayed if the remote 

VTX 1000 shut off wideband. This will 

also be displayed if the remote side 

hangs up.
